Living Primal: One Meal at a Time (Meatza!)

Enter the Meatza. I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

For those of you who don't know, a meatza is a low-carber's/meat-lover's adaption of the pizza, where the crust is replaced with meat instead of the usual dough. Strict Paleo followers don't tend to like this recipe because of the dairy but then again, I haven't exactly removed dairy from my diet.

Anyways, I decided to follow a recipe this time as opposed to my usual improvising. Here's a link: http://www.thehealthycookingcoach.com/2009/09/paleoprimal-pizza.html

Making the "crust" with 1 pound of ground pork, 1 pound of ground beef, cheese, and an egg

Me with the "Crust" spread out on the pan ready for the oven

After the crust finished baking, we threw on the toppings (mushrooms and red peppers) and cheese. Ready for the broiler. We did one half shredded mozzarella and one half buffalo mozzarella.

All finished.

Different Angle.

In all honesty, the meatza was more like a meatloaf with pizza toppings and cheese than an actual pizza. Nonetheless, it was still really good and definitely worth making again some other day.
